It's a car, I drive it year round and have done so with all 7 Mustangs I have owned. I have winter wheels and tires and summer wheels and tires and swap them in November and March.
Because it is a car and made to be driven. I have always used my Mustangs year round. Drove my 2006 for over 200,000 miles in SE Michigan and commuted daily from Port Huron, MI to downtown Detroit. Never had an issue. No rusting of the car. Ran it through an underbody spray wash each week in the...
What I like about the Pro-Charger option is that you keep the strut tower brace.
When I had my 2006 with the V6 I had the Xcharger on it and a friend had the Pro-Charger on his. Both of us had convertibles so similar cars. At the drag strip what I liked with the roots style was I had the...
My best was in my 2006 Mustang Pony convertible. I was lining up against an older Camaro, making a lot of noise with a loud exhaust, and his friend called out, "no problem it's just a V6".
Did my burnout and then hit the nitrous purge. Treed him and he never caught me and took the win. My...
My worst drag racing experience was in a friends' GT350. He swapped to a different shifter and it meant that it was very close. I did my burnout and as I was staging I kept thinking, "wow, this is so tight but I am pretty sure I am in first". Light went green and --- "son of a ...." car was in...
Keeping it stock. A supercharger would be nice, but I don't want to give up the strut tower brace, and already hitting 135+ on the back straight - I can't imagine 800 HP and running up to 150+ and trying to make the 90 degree turn 11 to the front straight at Gingerman!
It's simple. Ford warranties the car that Ford built (the dealer doesn't warranty the car, Ford does).
When you modify the car it is no longer the car that Ford built, it is now the car that you built. If our modification can be found to have caused the failure then Ford will deny warranty...
Your location though says 'deep south' so I assume no snow and ice to deal with. Around here in SE Michigan I don't need the extra power and torque when dealing with snow covered or icy roads, so why spend the extra $10- $15 for the power I can't use in December/January/February when the car...
When I put my winter wheels and tires on they sync right up. Same in the spring when the summer wheels and tires go on.
When you say, " done at the dealership. on my old 23 Mustang " are you referring to you current wheels though? If so, those sensors won't sync up. The 24+ uses a different...
Not from the factory. The Goodyear tires weren't an option. Could have been a dealer swap on a deal to sell the car, or the buyer hated the Pirelli tires and swapped them.
Or, given the wear at 10,000 miles, the original owner simply wore the stock Pirelli tires out with burnouts.
In the winter and snow I run 87 octane. It's not like I need all 486 HP and the full torque that running 93 will give me. I'm going to be easy on the throttle, and not pushing the car so might as well use the 87 octane. It isn't going to hurt the engine at all, it was designed to run on 87.
The...
Ah yes, the underpass and the "let me play you the song of my people"!
And I do that with my automatic if the stop light is coming up as well on the other side. LOL
Bad left knee to start out, driving in stop and go traffic daily, the automatic is a stronger transmission, and I can use the paddle shifters if I feel the need to manually shift.
Spent many years driving a stick, no need to have one now to prove to others that I can do it. Told my daughters...
